So, over the years we've had several variations on the Vault Suit in different Fallout games. From the slim spandex version in FO1 and 2 to the more fabric jumpsuit style of FO3 and NV to another spandex version with a more sci-fi feel to it in FO4 to finally a sort of combination of FO4 and FO3's design in FO76. So, I'm wondering...What is everyone's favorite Vault Suit design?

I'm just gonna go on record now and say my favorite Vault Suit design is FO76! To me, it's just perfect. We get the more spandex look of FO4, but with the more jumpsuit/baggy look from FO3 and NV. When I first saw the FO76 teaser trailer I was more hyped to wear the Vault Suit then the new(Or technically old) Pip-Boy. It's that good in my opinion! I'm honestly surprised that no one has attempted to recreate it and post the mod on the Nexus. Yes, I know someone did port the FO76 Vault Suit on here for a time(I think her files are now gone though), but I mean actually recreated it from scratch and placed it on the Nexus as a Vault Suit replacer or something. But yeah, to me the FO76 Vault Suit is the best!

But what are your thoughts? Do you agree with me or do you prefer one of the other looks from the various games? Let me know your thoughts!

Fallout 3, hands down for me. Gritty, techy looking while still having a realistic amount of wiggle room. Perfectly fits the artstyle of Fallout, imo - Plus you have the great addition of the Utility suit as well. =D

I like the proto vault suit mod from fallout 4.

Personally very into the Fallout 76 suit, as a midpoint between the 3 and 4 suits.

Though, and this is very hyperspecific opinion: I like the typography on the back of the Fallout 4 suits better. Those thick '1's, hmm.. Nice.

Personally I prefer the FO3/NV denim and leather look. I agree with IIHawkerII that it just has the right "feel" for the Fallout universe, as it looks like it's made from roughly the same kind of textiles used for the rest of the pre-war clothing.

Defınetly the "Armored Vault Suit" from 3/NV. It has so much character and tells a lot about the wearer. Here we see a man/woman who went into the vaults when the bombs fell. With hope for the future of himself/herself and their loved ones who came with them. Probably went through hell with all the shit Vault-Tec put them through. And they finally left that vault only to see their country in ruins.

So they had to adapt to this new hellhole for the sake of survival. The shoulder pad and all the makeshift gear they have on them symbolizes this. But they still carry that younger naive boy/girl with them. Just a tiny bit. The fact that they put all this gear on top of the vault suit must be a reminder to themselves, where they came from, where they belong to, and what's waiting for them when/if they go back. The vault suit in this context almost has a badge of honor feel like "I survived all this shit that happened in this vault".

"I survived Vault-Tec, and all I got was this lousy jumpsuit."

In all seriousness though, for all the flak that Bethesda gets from classic fans for retcons, the armored vault suits look like a great interpretation of the suit the original Vault Dweller is wearing as they walk out into the desert at the very end of Fallout 1. Full credit where it's due

I think I'd have to go with Fallout 76's jumpsuit. I prefer the sleek look over the baggy jumpsuits from 3/NV.

i like the vault suit style from 76 the best but the giant numbers from 1&2 are the best numbers
